Finding Tall Clothes for Tall People

Finding clothes that fit when you’re tall is already a challenge, but when your budget doesn’t allow for $200 pants, it’s a different level of struggle. As someone who’s 6’5”, I’m always hunting for pants that work, so when my brother mentioned Hollister has a tall section, I decided to check it out.

Here’s what I found while browsing their website—no purchases yet, just first impressions.

The Basics

---

Hollister offers a “Tall” filter for pants and tops, which is easy to use. While shopping, you can refine your search by selecting the length dropdown to choose “tall” or your preferred inseam. This feature saves a lot of time compared to scrolling endlessly through standard sizes.

Hollister also runs frequent sales, which is great for anyone looking to shop on a budget. If you’re lucky, you might score a deal without breaking the bank.

The Limitations of Hollister's tall Clothes

Trousers

Now, for the reality check. Hollister tall clothes, including their pants, max out at a 36-inch inseam. While that might work for some tall guys, it’s not nearly enough for others. There’s also no clear explanation of how their “tall” sizing stacks up against regular sizes. If a regular inseam is 29.5 inches, does “tall” just add a couple more? That’s not exactly helpful for anyone over 6’3”.

Sweats and lounge

For tops, the “tall” designation in Hollister tall clothes means an extra 2 inches in body length and 1 inch in sleeve length. While it’s a step in the right direction, it’s not a game-changer for those who really struggle to find properly fitting clothes.

What About reviews?

While some reviews of their tall items are positive, there aren’t many to rely on.

This lack of feedback makes it hard to know whether the fit or quality lives up to expectations.

Should you try Hollister's Tall section?

If you’re shopping at Hollister, stick to items with specific inseam lengths listed (like 36 inches), so you know exactly what you’re getting. Their generic “tall” label might not deliver what you need.

It’s good to see a popular brand making an effort, but Hollister’s tall section feels like a step in the right direction, not a complete solution. If you’ve tried their tall pants or tops, I’d love to hear your thoughts. And if you’re struggling with tops for long wingspans, let me know—I might cover that next.
